Tins is because Negroes have too
long become content, complacent
and satisfied that "this is where
my place is and I word try to go
beyond it.”
The curse of it is that so many
supposedly educated Negroes have
fallen victim to this phobia which
is strangling the very life out of
our people. Good-paying jim crow
jobs to many Negroes have quieted
them from clamoring anything else
for the rest of the race who only
have the economic crumbs to eat.
In the words of the provoked Quak
er lady: "May the Lord take such
leaders home to heaven; and the
sooner the better” for the race.
Time is of the essence these days
when no one has time enough to do
the necessary things of life. It is
grieving to see our people waste
so much valuable time on foolish
ness: and their little money, too.
when it should be put to trying to
learn EVERYTHING which will
ADVANCE US so we can hold
down better jobs to lead better
lives, to raise better families to
live in the integrated world of to
morrow; when, more and more
men will bo judged by their abili
ties rather than color.
Young people train yourselves
for a worthwhile tomorrow. Get
ready for the 'new day.’ You can t
get by like your parents did - with
out education.
